SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.—On December 5, 2017,
the Commission determined that the
domestic interested party group
response to its notice of institution (82
FR 41654, September 1, 2017) of the
subject five-year review was adequate
and that the respondent interested party
group response was inadequate. The
Commission did not find any other
circumstances that would warrant
conducting a full review.1 Accordingly,
the Commission determined that it
would conduct an expedited review
pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the
Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(3)).
For further information concerning
the conduct of this review and rules of
general application, consult the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure, part 201, subparts A and B
(19 CFR part 201), and part 207,
subparts A, D, E, and F (19 CFR part
207).
Staff report.—A staff report
containing information concerning the
subject matter of the review will be
placed in the nonpublic record on
February 9, 2018, and made available to
persons on the Administrative
Protective Order service list for this
review. A public version will be issued
thereafter, pursuant to section
207.62(d)(4) of the Commission’s rules.
1A
record of the Commissioners’ votes, the
Commission’s statement on adequacy, and any
individual Commissioner’s statements will be
available from the Office of the Secretary and at the
Commission’s website.

Written submissions.—As provided in
section 207.62(d) of the Commission’s
rules, interested parties that are parties
to the review and that have provided
individually adequate responses to the
notice of institution,2 and any party
other than an interested party to the
review may file written comments with
the Secretary on what determination the
Commission should reach in the review.
Comments are due on or before
February 14, 2018 and may not contain
new factual information. Any person
that is neither a party to the five-year
review nor an interested party may
submit a brief written statement (which
shall not contain any new factual
information) pertinent to the review by
February 14, 2018. However, should the
Department of Commerce extend the
time limit for its completion of the final
results of its review, the deadline for
comments (which may not contain new
factual information) on Commerce’s
final results is three business days after
the issuance of Commerce’s results. If
comments contain business proprietary
information (BPI), they must conform
with the requirements of sections 201.6,
207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission’s
rules. The Commission’s rules with
respect to filing were revised effective
July 25, 2014. See 79 FR 35920 (June 25,
2014), and the revised Commission
Handbook on E-filing, available from the
Commission’s website at https://
edis.usitc.gov.
In accordance with sections 201.16(c)
and 207.3 of the rules, each document
filed by a party to the review must be
served on all other parties to the review
(as identified by either the public or BPI
service list), and a certificate of service
must be timely filed. The Secretary will
not accept a document for filing without
a certificate of service.
Determination.—The Commission has
determined these reviews are
extraordinarily complicated and
therefore has determined to exercise its
authority to extend the review period by
up to 90 days pursuant to 19 U.S.C.
1675(c)(5)(B).
Authority: This review is being conducted
under authority of title VII of the Tariff Act
of 1930; this notice is published pursuant to
section 207.62 of the Commission’s rules.
By order of the Commission.
2 The Commission has found the responses
submitted by Auriga Polymers, Inc., DAK Americas,
LLC, and Nan Ya Plastics Corporation, America to
be individually adequate. Comments from other
interested parties will not be accepted (see 19 CFR
207.62(d)(2)).
